PicoMail has been upgraded to version 2.1. There are no obvious changes so I can’t say what’s new in this version athough I suspect that there are some performance and stability enhancements.

PicoMail is a fast, free (ad-supported) POP, SMTP, IMAP email program for Java phones that works with most email providers. It features simple account configuration. For major email services including Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo Mail you just need to enter your email address and password and PicoMail takes care of all the complicated POP or IMAP settings.

Is your’s an @boostapps.comyahoo.com account. It should work with those. If you have an ISP branded (AT&T DSL, etc) account I could understand Pico Mail having trouble recognizing that it was a Yahoo account.

Anyway, glad you got it to work.

Hi… Need help downloaded newer version. Looks great on my incognito. But i am not sure how to figure out the smtp port for my yahoo account. Can you help? I am unable to send because of this error.

Dennis has the correct response — only way to change the colors used by PicoMail is to change the theme in use by the phone.

For some reason it cannot read picture messages . I tried using an attachment , but it did not display a gif . I saved the gif , but when I opened it , picomail displayed only the first frame .
I am not sure there would be a work around for the i465 .

PicoMail can display most every image format (GIF, JPG, BMP, TIFF, PNG, …), so perhaps the webserver is mis-identifying the content of the message/page. Per animated GIFs, PicoMail will only display the first frame of an animated GIF, however version 2.2 (due out in the next few weeks) adds support for animated GIFs, so you’ll be able to view all frames, not just the first one.

By the way , I would recommend to remove PicoMail 2.0 before downloading 2.1 . Otherwise you will need to highlight PicoMail 2.0 , then press the menu key , select update then select remove old program .
